Position Description
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that promotes lasting peace with justice. Drawing on principles of Quaker belief and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. AFSC envisions a world in which lasting peace with justice is achieved through active nonviolence and the transforming power of love. With more than 70 programs operating across the United States and around the world, AFSC is uniquely poised to “change the narrative” on militarism today.

S/he will collaborate on study design and then take the lead on our mixed-methods social marketing and audience engagement research projects. The Communications Analyst will also leverage those findings to develop a strategic plan to assess and ultimately increase audience engagement. In addition, s/he will directly engage new audiences by contributing to the Media Research Blog, part of the forthcoming AFSC family of blogs.
